Special organs of taste located on the surface of the tongue.
What are taste buds
100
Part of the eye that allows light to pass through the iris.
What is the pupil
100
This connects the middle ear to the throat.
What is Auditory tube (Eustachian tube)
100
Five types of sensory receptors.
What are Chemoreceptors, pain receptors, thermoreceptors, mechanoreceptors, and photoreceptors.
200
These temperature receptors are most sensitive to temperatures between 10 degrees C (50 F) and 20 degrees C (68F)
What are cold receptors
200
Four primary taste sensations.

200
Three layers of the eye.
What are outer tunic, middle tunic, and inner tunic
200
S-shaped tube that leads through the temporal bone to the tympanic membrane.
What is external auditory meatus
200
The adjustments of sensory receptors to continuous stimulation.
What is sensory adaptation
300
A phenomenon of visceral pain we feel coming from some other body part than the part being stimulated.
What is Referred pain
300
Both smell and taste are chemoreceptors, which means they must have this done to the chemicals to stimulate them.

What is Meissner's corpuscles
400
These yellowish-brown masses that cover the upper parts of the nasal cavity have receptors for smell.
What are olfactory organs
400
This part of the eye contains the visual receptor cells and lies on the back of the eye.
What is the retina
400
Membrane-covered opening between the inner ear and the middle ear.
What is the round window
400
The organs of static equilibrium are located within this structure, a bony chamber between the semicircular canals and the cochlea.
What is the vestibule
500
Relatively large sturctures composed of connective tissue fibers and cell that and are associated with the sensation of deep pressure.
What is Pacinian corpuscles
500
These are bipolar neurons surrounded by columnar epithelial cells with cilia on the distal ends.
